Maike cable-knit sweater with high neck

The vertical cable pattern leads the eye up and down, helping to visually lengthen the upper body, although the textured knit also adds extra volume to it. The raised collar visually closes off the neck area, so the neck may appear shorter.

The cropped length of the sweater ends approximately at the waist and the top of the hips, creating a horizontal line that draws attention to this area. Combined with high-waisted clothing, it can visually lengthen the legs.
